Today’s episode is about something that most leaders struggle with…. setting healthy boundaries. To be an impactful leader, you have to learn to draw a line between acceptable and non-acceptable behavior and also between what’s important and what’s not.

These boundaries help you communicate expectations and increase your sense of wellbeing and the level of control you feel you have over yourself and the projects or tasks and teams that you are responsible for.

Most leaders that I work with have very unclear boundaries or they lack boundaries… or if they think leadership is all about control and micro managing, they have rigid boundaries. Some signs that you need help with boundaries are:

Having a team where it feels unsafe to communicate needs, feelings, and voice issues.
Noticing a lack of engagement with your team.
And personally and professionally, recognizing co-dependent behaviors and lack of understanding of roles and responsibilities.

These are just a few of the things that I notice but all of these problems with boundaries often spiral into dysfunctional teams and even abusive interpersonal relationships at their worse.

In this episode, I want to share with you some quick ideas about boundaries and what you can do to improve them so that you foster relationships within your team and your personal life built on respect.
